RADIO PROGRAM NO. 420 - What One Individual Can Do About Pollution

with contributions from John Lewis Selover, William Pead

[The participants are John Lewis Selover and William Pead.]

Pead: People in many parts of the world are concerned about pollution. They want clean air, pure water, uncontaminated land, and are willing to do something about it. Some are writing letters to the government, some are protesting, and some are participating in lobby organizations. Some are even getting on their hands and knees and removing trash, cleaning up riverbanks and public lands. But what more can an individual do?

Selover: Every useful project started with some individual's idea to benefit mankind. Consider for a moment what's behind pollution. Pollution is an effect, not a cause. It's not things but, startling though it may sound, states of thought—unwise, unthoughtful, or careless thinking—that result in pollution. This is where spiritual insights can really be effectively meaningful.
